  • Frame-And-Panel Doors Made Easy
    Frame-and-Panel Doors Made Easy Cope-and-stick router bits are quick but tricky. Here’s how to get perfect results BY MICHAEL PEKOVICH Photos, this page: Michael Pekovich; facing page: John Tetreault COPYRIGHT 2007 by The Taunton Press, Inc. Copying and distribution of this article is not permitted. Bit types his past summer, during the remodeling of my kitchen, I was faced with the task of making 31 Tcabinet doors. I needed speed and simplicity, so I broke out my router table and a set of cope-and- stick router bits. These bit combinations allow you to rout door frames quickly, in two steps. The first bit routs a profile and panel groove on the inside edge of all the Doors Made Easy TWO-BIT frame parts. The second bit is a mirror image of the SET first, routing a coped profile and a stub tenon on the ends of the frame rails. What you create is not a traditional mortise-and- tenon joint. But done right, it gives you a cabinet door that’s just as strong. The key is to use a flat panel of plywood Router bits for door or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) that’s glued in place— not a raised panel, which is designed to float. All in all, I was frames are referred to in able to build all 31 doors in the course of a weekend, from woodworking catalogs as “cope and stick” or “rail milling lumber to finish sanding. and stile” bits. Their function is to rout a profile and a panel groove on Different types of cope-and-stick bits are available, with an the inside edge of the frame parts and to cope the ends of the array of profiles from simple thumbnails to more ornate ogees rails to fit that profiled edge.

  • DOOR and DRAWER STYLE SELECTION Choosing Your Door and Drawer Style
    DOOR AND DRAWER STYLE SELECTION Choosing Your Door And Drawer Style The one thing that will affect the look of your kitchen perhaps more than anything else is the style of your cabinet door and drawer fronts. And there are many styles available to you. Traditional cope and stick, slab, or mitered construction. Raised or flat (recessed) panels. Ogee, square, or regular beads. And more…So many choices! I’d like to take a moment to help parse out the details. We’ll look at the different types of construction, the options for material, edge, bead, and panel profiles, and some other door and drawer choices that may interest you. Construction There are three main types of door construction: 1. Traditional (also known as mortised or cope and stick) 2. Mitered 3. Slab Traditional Doors A door or drawer style called “Traditional” is made of five pieces, which is why they are sometimes called “5-Piece doors” or “5-Piece drawers”. Think of this type of door as a picture frame that has a top and bottom rail (the horizontal members of the frame), a left and right stile (the vertical members of the frame) that together house a center panel (which is where the glass would be in a picture frame). For the frame, you can choose the style of the outside edge profile and the framing bead, which is the inside edge profile. Further, you can choose either a raised or flat center panel. If you choose a raised panel, then you will have to decide on the raised panel profiles from a number of options.

  • Rails & Stiles
    Rails & Stiles MLCS is proud to offer an extensive variety of bits to make rail and All varieties stile frames for doors. These frames use “cope and stick” joints at the corners, which give a strong tongue and groove joint and a mitered moulding look on the inside detail. A groove or rabbet is also created at the same time to hold a raised, flat, or glass panel. Router: A reliable quality router will cost over $120 and be worth every penny. MLCS carries bit sets for either 1/4” or 1/2” collets. The 1/2” collet is more versatile, because it accepts a wider variety of bits including the larger 3 1/2” Raised Panel cutters. 1-1/2 to 2 HP is powerful enough for most work. In all cases, we strongly recommend being able to slow the speed of the router, either with the MLCS #9000 Router Speed Control or one that is built into your router. This will enable you to better control the workpiece and minimize burning on the more resinous woods such as cherry or maple. Speed control is especially important on less expensive routers, as bits can vibrate excessively at full speed. Finally, the router should be table-mounted. A sturdy, flat router table and a solid squared fence are important for producing quality doors. Routing rails and stiles freehand is NOT recommended. Choosing Your Materials Rails and Stiles : Wood for your rails and stiles should be straight- grained and knot free. Ends and edges should be square to the face of the wood.

  • Making Stub-Tenon Doors
    Making Stub-tenon Doors The stub-tenon joint will never be the super- hero of your joinery arsenal because it doesnʼt have the stuff necessary to be a strong joint. The mating parts are short (hence the “stub” moniker) and itʼs housed on only two sides: the face cheeks of the tenon. There is sufficient glue surface, but the cross-grain orientation compromises the glue joint. In the pantheon of woodworking joints, the stub-tenon joint may be more accurately described as a 90-pound weakling. But even so, this can be sufficient for smaller, lightweight doors that donʼt take a lot of abuse. For example, you wouldnʼt choose this joint for kitchen cabinet doors or built-ins for the kidsʼ playroom. But itʼs OK to use a stub-tenon door for a vanity cabinet or for a project thatʼs built as much for looks as it is for service. Once a door weighs more than four or five pounds, or is larger than 18" x 24", you must abandon the stub-tenon joint for a more substantial one. Mortise-and-tenon construction, dowels, loose tenons and even biscuit joints are superior choices for larger, heavier doors. So why use a stub-tenon joint? Well, itʼs easy to make because it requires a minimal amount of setup time regardless of the method you choose to cut the joint. Itʼs usually cut with a router in a table or on the table saw using a stack dado set. The ease of setup is because the same groove thatʼs cut to receive the panel doubles as the groove for the stub tenon.

  • The ABC's of Panel Door Construction
    The ABC’s of panel door construction In our step-by-step example of panel door construction, we used the following: - CMT Rail & Stile set (item #891.502.11) - CMT Reverse Glue Joint (item #855.501.11) R tile - pre-cut to length stiles - 19mm thick x 57mm wide ail S Panel - pre-cut to length rails - 19mm thick x 57mm wide le - panel - 16mm thick Sti - scrap stock The CMT Rail & Stile set was designed ideally for the Panel construction of panel doors from 19mm thick stock, however any variation of size up to 22mm thick can be le Rail used. Remember to adjust your measurements and R Sti cutting depths according to the wood thickness you ail use. ILLUSTRATION A ILLUSTRATION B STOCK STOCK ROUTER TABLE ROUTER TABLE MILLING THE RAILS AND STILES First make trial cuts of the cope profile (rail) and the stick profile (stile) in scrap stock and check the accuracy of the joint. This is extremely important when working at maximum thickness (22mm). Make sure your stock is flat and cut straight with square edges. Using the CMT Stile Bit shown in illustration A, place the stock front face-down on the router table and mill the stick profile in the stile and rail pieces. To mill the rails, use the CMT Rail Bit shown in illustration A, position the rails face-down on the router table and mill the cope profile in the ends. If you are milling cope and stick profiles before cutting the rails and sti- les to length, be sure to make the proper calculations before cutting the rails.

  • Rails & Stiles
    Rails & Stiles All varieties MLCS is proud to offer an extensive variety of bits to make rail and stile frames for doors. These frames use “cope and stick” joints at the corners, which give a strong tongue and groove joint and a mitered molding look on the inside detail. A groove or rabbet is also created at the same time to hold a raised, flat, or glass panel. Router: A reliable quality router will cost over $120 and be worth every penny. MLCS carries bit sets for either 1/4” or 1/2” collets. The 1/2” collet is more versatile, because it accepts a wider variety of bits, including the larger 3 1/2” Raised Panel cutters. 1-1/2 to 2 HP is powerful enough for most work. In all cases, we strongly recommend being able to slow the speed of the router, either with the MLCS #9400 or #9410 Router Speed Control or one that is built into your router. This will enable you to better control the work piece and minimize burning on the more resinous woods such as cherry or maple. Speed control is especially important on less expensive routers, as bits can vibrate excessively at full speed. Finally, the router should be table-mounted. A sturdy, flat router table and a solid squared fence are important for producing quality doors. Routing rails and stiles freehand is NOT recommended. Choosing Your Materials Rails and Stiles: Wood for your rails and stiles should be straight- grained and knot free. Ends and edges should be square to the face of the wood.
